I am wondering about using bridging to solve my FIOS VOD disruption of video when surfing the net issue. I did not have this issue under Verizon, but it now appears under Frontier.
My current setup goes like this:
Internet ---> Astaro WAN port --> LAN port out ---> 24 port HP Pro Curve Gigabit switch --> Frontier Router.
Using this current setup causes issues with VOD, even a refresh of a small pages causes stuttering and lost packets. I have "bypass the proxy for streaming content" checked, and the Frontier Router network is not proxied at all. It is on the same physical card, but has a different subnet then everything else in my network.
So, what I want to do is place the Frontier router in front of the Astaro so that VOD never even touches my equipment, but make it so that all other traffic, hacker scans, and what not goes to the Astaro. I uses this information for school and other things.
Is it best to bridge the two or should I DMZ the Astaro?
What else am I going to have to do?
What do you guys think?
Thank you,
